JUDGE WHIPPERS DEFENSE.

In our issue Of last week we pub,
lished an extract from the Balti-
more Sun to the effect that Judge
w. j. Whipper, of Beaufort, S. c.,
had been arrested for the embtzel-
ment Of funds belonging to
minors. We see by the Sea
Island News, published at Beau
fort, S. c., a letter written by
Judge Whipper, stating that: ''On
the 2Oth day Of January, 1887, /
commenced work for Robert Smalis
as attorney in his contested elec-
ton case and from that time until
the close of the case in April, j

CIlr9O III HIS CUuU6ol'
At the end of the contest there
was a balance in my favor OF
$23S.00. Before my bill was pre-
sented or demand on him for its
payment he took the pains to as
sure me that he would pay me a.
soon as one L. c. Scott paid him
for a certain tract of land purchas
ed by him some time before, and
then for the first time L learned
that it was purchased for the
minor children by one Simon
Fripp of whom the said Scott was
guardian. A day or two later Scott
approached me as to whether or not
/ would approve the investment.
/ assured him thatI would approve
any fair investment. A.
| was assured by Smalls again
and again that the lands were
worth double the amount of the
purchase money and that the
sacrifices was made only for the
purpose of settling the demand of
those to whom he was indebted
for services in the contest and
who are presenting their bills. He
also volunteered to procure a
horse and buggy and take me to
the place in order that [ should
satisfy myself that it was fair
investment. This | told him was
unnecessary for the reason that a
mere inspection of the premises
would not be sufficient, but that |
would consent with parties who
knew the place and who could pass
upon the value of the same and
then / would be in position to
say whether it was fair invest
ment or not. Soon afterwards two
unsigned deeds were presented to
me one by Mr.. Ezekiel, the other
by H. G. Judd, both acting as |
was informed, for Mr.. Scott. l then
met Ezekiel and Judd, and We
agreed upon a form OF deed to be
made partly from two mentioned
above, which deed was presented
to me unsigned but the form of

bank of Mr.. f. w. Schefer, to be

and was on SCOTS official bond.
He would not pay the draft unless
he could be released as surety on

But it is only the well to do-in the cities,

would keep a horse solely for saddle use

That chastity railroad accident at ST..
Thomas, Ont, on Friday night calls at
tention TO the result Of carelessness, es-
pecially in the excursion season.
Many people were killed and fifty in
iured, all because the signal was not
right. the air brakes would not work, and
the lever to reverse the engine was not a
good one. The excursion train consist
ing of ten packed cars collided with an
oil train, and fire and explosion added
their work to the horrible scene.
To a certain extent railways should be
as exact as machinery, and there is abso-
lutely no palliation Of the crime Of neg
ligence on the part Of those who have
human life in charge.
"The freight train was pulling out as
the excursion train was coming in &c.
This is the ofttold tale, and will continue
to be until railroad companies are made,
at the risk Of the officials lives, to keep
an alert and active inspection up all the
time, and TO employ competent and reh-
able men at reasonably long hours of
duty.

TRUTH AND DECENC1.

The TINES Is in receipt OF very well
written article on the Abuse Of News
papers"
The writer complains that newspapers
are lacking in courtesy and are not truth
full and decent; all of which is, to some
extent, true.
The success of this paper is due 10 its
policy announced in the first issue, to tell
the truth irrespective OF parties or per-
sons, and give just criticism on the
events OF each day.
We publish the humorous fancies OF
the day from various other newspapers,
but with a strict regard to propriety, and
we feel confident that our paper will
have the support of the community when
ever It becomes its duty to criticise pub
lie men and official acts with severity.
These are the ethical rules of correct
journalism, and it is to be regretted when
newspapers fall into the vulgar specula-
ton on sensation, and make their col
umns little better than patent-medicine
circulars and bill-posting advertising.
We expected at the beginning to follow
the policy Of a conscientious obligation
TO the public until the Richmond DAILY
TIMES. surrounded and backed 10y the
conservative interests Of all classes and
representing the intelligence and charac-
ter of the community, should take its
stand at the head of the Virginia press
and the indications are that this will be
accomplished IN a shorter time than we
had hoped
In lamenting the coarseness and I'M
morality of certain papers our CORE
spondent should divide the responsibility
between the editors and the popular
taste, for in this age Of education there IS
little too much book learning and not
enough of moral training. 1t is cause
for congratulation, however that while
this fast age Of telegraph, electricity, and
steam Is full Of excitement and tempta-
tions. still the mercantile civilization OF
today inculcates a necessity for honest
regard Of obligations, and in that is
great teacher

he has no right to claim membership in

Colonel Tom Oehiltree, ex-M. c. from
Veracity, Texas, is at Long Branch in a
cane hat presented him by the Prince Of
Wales.
The cream color of the tile contrasts
artistically with the red hair, while the
latter is beautifully harmonized with the
tint of the face and nose The outer
frame Of the hat is adjusted on pivot,
in which is a small preyaricatorial indi
Gator which registers the intensity Of
every lie that is uttered within certain
circumference, and thus the Colonel can
present an exact transcript of his record
and prove his superior speed
